Men may have just given up

Ladies, it's time you heard the truth about why so many of you are single. It's because men have basically given up on trying to please you. We've exchanged our left hands for sexual gratification or any chance at a meaningful relationship. When will you wake up and realize that you have to focus on the positive and not the negative in us? I've heard so many "sob" stories from women who have lost in love. Let's make one thing perfectly clear - when it comes to looks, women are just as shallow as men. Nice guys do finish last. So please be honest enough to admit that. Secondly, men are just tired of putting themselves on the line and getting shot down. You can only take so many rejections. And finally, many men have figured out that women in today's world have unbelievably high expectations of us. We just can't be who you want us to be. On the flipside, all you need is a heartbeat and a little personality and you will be accepted by us. So quit whining, grow up, and realize that it is not all our fault....

Regards,

MEN

I think men have become more picky, holdfast. This is another reason why some of these decent and quality women are alone. I think the tone of my original post gave the women on here the wrong impression. I was trying to give some insight as to why good women are having trouble finding good men. I am not trying to blame women for everything, but rather point out that it is a two-way street. Men get shot down repeatedly and as a result, many of them become hesitant to make the first move. I think women need to realize that they will have to take risks and put themselves on the line to find the right man for them. No risk - no reward. Men do have more options than ever - that is almost a fact. As there has been an economic and social shift in favor of women over the past 20 years, an indirect result has been that good men have increased in value. Men have taken so many hits in our post-modern feminist society that it has become a war of attrition. Our society has emasulated men to the point that we are facing a form of "good man extinction" unless we do something about it. The woes of women in the dating world is just a by-product of a much larger issue. To put it as bluntly as possible - men have become wary and even afraid of women. Marriage implies a strong possibility of divorce, the potential loss of a relationship with children, as well as the loss of financial independence. Because of this men have become much more selective and careful in the realm of relationships with women...
